उत्तर : 4. "5 minutes"
व्याख्या :
Answer: D) 5 minutes Explanation: Let the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by K = 3 liters.Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by L = 15 liters.Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both K and L in 1 minute = 18 liters.Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18 = 5 minutes.
